Palmer was booked into the Santa Monica Jail, where he later “complained of pain,” Camarena wrote. Palmer was then taken to Santa Monica Hospital where he was treated and “medically cleared,” said Camarena.

White said Palmer was arrested for violating the City’s park closure ordinance and delaying and obstructing officers in the performance of their duties.

However, “the heightened standard of proof required to sustain a criminal filing when coupled with the totality of factors associated with this incident, precluded the filing of criminal charges,” said White.
